Down in Flames

Verse:
She’s riding shotgun in a stolen car
Doing a 100 miles an hour in needlepoint rain
He never thought that love could go this far
Her 40 caliber kisses completely blew out his senses, made him deaf, reckless and no way to change

Chorus:
Now there’s sirens on the horizon behind them
2 souls on fire for stealing diamonds and screaming tires
Through 5 state lines, side by side
Hellbent, going down in flames

Verse:
She was a steamy Cajun stripper on her way to Cheyenne
Outside of Glenwood Springs he put a 30 karat ring on her hand
He never thought that love could go this far
But with countless variations on her bedroom applications
She got him stealing from daybreak to dark

Chorus:
It’s a fact, sow an act, and reap a habit
“keep driving” she said “they’re almost beside us”
Through 5 state lines, side by side
Hellbent, going down in flames

Bridge:
Then just like a slow-motion adolescent dream
She peeled off her clothes and climbed onto the back seat
the cruise control was set
he tied the steering wheel to the gear shift
And climbed behind for one last ride
To go down in flames

Chorus:
Now there’s sirens on either side and behind them
Their engine is humming like a convict choir
2 souls on fire for one last ride
Hellbent, going down in flames
